No charge. No conviction. Just suspicion.

This isn’t public safety—it’s profiling. #UnmuteAlabama #HB403

Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

My Kingdom and more for anyone to realize that awarding yourself a government contract is not a conflict of interest. It's corruption. When the bank teller takes the money out of the cash drawer and puts it in his pocket that's not a conflict of interest either.

Governor Andy Beshear (D-Kentucky) on Kristi Noem's call to eliminate FEMA: "The states cannot do what FEMA does without duplicating certain tasks 50 times over. If you've got an operation that's running well, work with it, improve it, don't eliminate it."
